My work on MYP Computer Technology – Grade 8

I think my Digital Portfolio was the best that I ever made, because I did somework on Digital Portfolio so I know what to do and what would be better, and if I had problem, I asked Mrs. Mora and she gave advices. If my friends and fanily saw my Digital Portfolio, they would think that they are also able to make a website to show or post something. I think that I'm interested in Technology, because it was really good lesson and most of work was fun and interesting. But I have to learn more about photoshop; it's an useful and helpful programme. Actually, I didn't use design cycle very well, I used the design cycle olny when I needed it. But I think the design cycle is really helpful, becuase it gives you the whole plan, if I started from planning, you would get the next step, and if you finish it, you would get another step, so it's helpful when you are making something. The MYP Computer Technology Grade 8 course was really interesting and fun. It was very good experience and I also liked it.
